WELLESLEY.    .MASS.    .MARCH   24,    1932 


VOTE  FOR  SMOKING 
IN  STUDENT  ROOMS 


At  the  Senate  Meeting  on  Thursday 
evening,  March  17,  the  new  smoking 
regulations  were  passed  with  one  dis- 
senting vote.  It  was  decided  to  call  a 
mass-meeting  of  the  college  on  Friday 
afternoon  at  which  the  regulations 
would  be  explained.  President  Pen- ; 
dleton  and  Mary  Elizabeth  Wheeler 
spoke  at  the  meeting. 

The  new  rules,  which  will  go  into 
effect  on  April  12,  are  as  follows: 


until  the  end  of 
the  year  smoking  shall  be  permitted 
in  students'  rooms  in  all  brick  dor- 
mitories on  the  campus,  between  the 
hours  of  6:45  A.  M.  and  10  P.  M. 
In  Craiojord,  Freeman,  and  Norum- 
bega,  smoking  shall  be  permitted  in 
the  living  rooms  after  meals,  under 
the  same  regulations  as  in  freshman 
houses,  if  the  house  so  votes.

by  lack  of  confidence  in  a  govern-

Committee) . 

The  Women's  Educational  and  In- 
dustrial Union,  to  which  the  Emer- 
gency Relief  Committee  voted  $400,  is 
a  Boston  organization  of  long  standing. 
During  the  present  crisis  it  has  en- 
larged its  usual  field  of  endeavor  to 
include  unemployment  relief  for  wo- 
men, more  especially  for  those  mem- 
bers of  the  "white  collar"  class,  who 
through  no  fault  of  their  own  are 
forced  to  seek  aid,  and  yet  whose  pride 
prevents  them  from  accepting  actual 
charity  from  such  organizations  as  the 
Family  Welfare  Society. 

The  college  department  has  given 
financial  and  vocational  information 
to  over  six  thousand  high  school  and 
college  graduates,  and  has  secured  po- 
sitions for  some  of  these  applicants. 
Since  the  need  has  become  increasing- 
ly acute,  this  service  has  been  rendered 
free  of  charge  during  the  last  few 
months. 

The  general  employment  bureau  has 
devised  a  scheme,  which  is  made  pos- 
sible through  gifts,  whereby  temporary 
employment  can  be  given  immediately 
if  circumstances  warrant  it.  Positions 
are  created,  and  for  two  weeks  salaries 
are  drawn  from  the  sinking  fund. 
Meanwhile,  effort  is  made  to  secure 
permanent  employment  for  the  in- 
dividuals.

The  meetings  opened  Friday  evening 
with  a  lecture  by  Everett  Dean  Martin 
Dn  The  Objectives  of  a  Liberal  Educa- 
tion. Dr.  Martin,  who  is  at  present  the 
head  of  the  People's  Institute  in  New 
York,  is  a  noted  figure  in  the  develop- 
ment of  adult  education  in  America. 

In  introducing  his  subject,  Dr.  Mar- 
tin defined  education  as  a  life-long 
process  of  learning  in  which  that  part 
received  in  college  is  only  a  prepara- 
tion for  later  work.  Thus  adult  edu 
cation,  which  is  so  often  confused  with 
the  work  of  educators  to  uplift  the 
masses,  is  in  reality  nothing  more  than 
the  continuance  of  a  study  whose  tools 
have  been  provided  by  courses  in  col- 
lege.   A  person  must  be  eager  to  learn

The  problem  that  faces  the  modern

Therefore  it  behooves  those  who  have

social  sense 

that  elevated  and  stimu- 

ated  the  theater.     It  is  true  that  the

tion, and  in  one  case,  thirty-six  plays 
by  a  writer  of  the  mid-nineteenth 
century  were  produced.  Chekov, 
Gorky,  and  Tolstoy  have  been  well 
represented  in  recent  years. 

In  answer  to  the  assertion  that  the 
Revolution  had  narrowed  and  limited 
the  range  of  drama,  Professor  Dana 
says  that,  on  the  contrary,  it  has  been 
enlarged,  and,  for  proof,  points  out  the 
large  number  of  foreign  plays  that 
were  not  acted  before.  The  City  of

come the  City  of  the  Theater  Inter-

LLESLEY      COLLEGE      NEW; 


Do  you  enjoy  working  with  people, 
especially  those  less  fortunate  than 
yourself?    Are  you  eager  to  I 

direct    from    those    who    are

assistant  at  the  Bryn  Mawr   Summer 
School  for  Women  Workers  in  Indus- 
try? 

For  two  months  each  summer  Bryn 
Mawr  opens  its  doors  to  one  hundred 
girls  who  come  from  mill  or  factory, 
for  the  study  of  liberal  subjects,  to 
stimulate  an  active  interest  in  current 
problems,  and  to  develop  a  desire  for 

life.  In  order  to  encourage  a  closer 
contact  between  the  summer  students 
and  the  new  academic  environment,  it 

graduates   from    the    leading   women's 
colleges  in  the  East  to  act  as  assistants 
in  the  school.     Through  these  college 
representatives  a  spirit  of  understand- 
ing is  built  up— the  undergraduates  be- 
come   better    informed    about    social 
problems  arid  better  able  to  interpret 
them   to  others;    the  workers  go  back    the 
to  their  jobs  confident  of  the  fact

ties and  responsibilities  are  many,  each 
day  brings  more  unusual  and  interest- 
ing experiences.  Each  undergraduate 
is  required  to  attend  one  class  with 
the  workers  and  so  gains  even  a  better ,  construction

through  the  informal  discussions.  The 
whole  summer  is  a  process  of  give  and

that  she  has  changed  tremendously  in 
her  attitude  towards  and  understand- 
ing of   the  other. 

Although  there  are  no  definite  re- 
quirements for  this  position,  the  com- 
mittee prefer  that  the  applicants  be 
juniors  and  that  they  will  have  had  a 
preliminary  course  in  economics  and 
sociology  because  a  background  of  this 
sort  is  almost  necessary  for  a  full  un- 
derstanding of  the  problems  involved.

THE  PEREGRINATING  PRESS 


decided 


ONCE  upon  a  time  Perry  believed 
that  only  Tired  Business  Men 
were  privileged  to  do  what  mental ' 
Hygiene  books  chidingly  call  "taking , 
your  troubles  to  bed,"  and  mentally  j 
romping  around  with  bulls  and  bears;  | 
now,  however,  he  has  learned  that 
artists  never  allow  themselves  to  for- 
get their  art.  After  dress  rehearsal 
for  Dance  Drama,  one  of  the  graceful 
young  creatures  wandered  home,  to 
bed,  and  to  sleep,  still  thinking  of  the 
dance  (with  a  reading  and  speaking 
accent).  Then,  still  asleep,  out  of 
bed  she  floated  and  began  flitting 
about  her  room  until,  unfortunately, 
she  chose  a  chair  as  her  partner. 
The  chair,  at  that  hour  of  the  night, 
must  have  preferred  to  lead,  for  she 
suddenly  awoke  to  find  herself 
sprawled  on  the  floor,  and  the  chair 
the  possessor  of  some  two  square 
inches  of  her  skin.  No  wonder  the 
first  dance  the  savages  invented  was 
a  war  dance,  Perry  reflects. 

THE  fire  hazard— that  dread  demon 
of  smokers  in  Wellesley  for  years 
—was  met  by  a  freshman,  who,  alas, 
was   rewarded    with    a    mild    dose    of 

"Genius  unappreciated,"  she  moaned. 
Not  so  long  ago.  in  the  days  before 
smoking  in  dormitories  was  le- 
galized, one  student  was  discovered  in 
the  forbidden  act.  "But,"  she  com- 
plained, "I  was  smoking  in  the  bath 
tub  and  certainly  there  couldn't  be 
danger  of  fire  there!" 

PERRY  is  sincerely  apologetic. 
Nothing  could  be  more  foreign  to 
his  nature  than  to  wound  the  feelings 
of  anyone— and  especially  of  one  of 
his  masculine  cohorts  around  campus. 
He  has  learned  that  Sandy  Campbell 
resented  having  his  conversation  with 
the  robins  recorded.  "I  wish  people 
would  stop  inquiring  into  my  affairs," 
Sandy  said  with  righteous  indignation. 
"Why,  last  year  when  I  caught  a 
pound  bass  in  the  lake,  that  was  in 
Perry.  Now,  you  know  that's  silly. 
Anybody  could  catch  a  pound  bass  if 
they'd  just  stand  still."  Of  course  the 
real  reason  was  envy  and  sheer,  un- 
adulterated jealousy,  because  Perry 
isn't  a  remarkably  successful  fisher- 
self  from  taking  Sandy's  name  in  vain.

pended in  air,  directly  over  the  path, 
and  slowly  swinging  back  and  forth 
as  it  was  lowered  to  the  ground.  It 
reminded  Perry  of  the  old  Pearl 
White  serials  in  which  the  heroine, 
bound  and  gagged,  was  placed  upon  a 
table  in  a  Chinaman's  vile  den  and, 
as  the  "Continued  Next  Week"  sign 
flashed,  the  pendulum  was  swinging 
within  two  inches  of  her  lily  white 
throat.  AH  reports  indicate  that  the

JUSTICE,  that  far-famed  abstraction, 
may  have  miraculously  appeared  on 
campus.  A  member  of  the  august  body 
called  Senate  awoke,  feeling  twinges 
of  what  she  feared  might  be  a  guilty 
conscience.  The  conscience  proved  to 
be  a  thumb  tack,  but— and  this  is  the 
justice — it  had  dropped  from  the  etch- 
ing it  was  supporting  (and,  my  chil- 

thumb  tacks  are  supposed  to  be

of  contact  between  the  student  and 
alumnae  so  experienced,  methods  of 
achieving  that  contact  were  discussed. 
Among  those  methods  considered  were 


The  second  Round  Table  Discussion 
under  Dr.  Martin  took  up  the  ques- 
tion of  curriculum  from  the  viewpoint 
of  the  alumnae.  One  problem  that 
was  presented  was:  What  changes  in 
the  educational  plan  of  the  college 
seem  advisable  to  the  alumnae  in  view 
of  their  own  needs  as  disclosed  by 
post-college    experience?     It    was    the 


felt  for  a  closer  correlation  of  college 
experience  and  training  and  the  actual 
problems  of  living  which  will  be  met 
after  graduation.  In  other  words 
modern  colleges  are  failing  to  keep 
intellectually  abreast  with  the  modern 
world  and  its  needs.  Dr.  Martin 
pointed  out  that  the  question  was 
far-reaching  and  that  its  answer 
lay  not  in  the  adjustment  which  will 
be  made  the  day  after  graduation  but 
in  the  civilization  which  could  be  ac- 
quired  before  the  age  of  senility. 

The  Third  Round  Table  was  con- 
cerned with  the  use  of  the  college 
equipment  during  the  summer.  Sug- 
gestions were  made  for  its  use  by 
something  in  which  the  college  would 
assume  actual  responsibility.  No  prac- 
tical details  concerning  finances  were 
considered    but    were    left    for    future 


open   lo  under  - 


The  first  suggestion  was  that  Wel- 
lesley might 
fin  additional 
graduates,  a  course  that  would  give 
academic  credit.  The  next  suggestion 
was  for  an  informal  type  of  education 
that  would  not  aim  at  credit,  but 
might  include  a  collection  of  classes 
for  enrichment,  to  give  an  oppor- 
tunity to  both  men  and  women  in  va- 
rious fields,  such  as  a  forum  on  inter- 
national relations,  the  creative  arts, 
or  the  present  economic  situation.  The

Pendleton  defined  the  college's  pur-

that  the  faculty  imbue  the  students 
with  a  love  of  clear-cut  thinking  and 
Miss  Orvis  stressed  another  desirable 
quality,  a  live  interest  in  facts.  Doc-

shall  move  in  crowds  of  more  than  three 
— has  been  passed  already.  Whether 
or  not  this  protest  thus  comes  too  late, 
I  should  like  to  put  in  an  emphatic 
word  against  it.  In  last  week's  News 
there  were  two  Free  Presses  on  this 
subject.  I  should  like  to  ask  "One  of 
a  Crowd  of  Six"  whether  she  would

planned  to  move  up  on  campus?  I

course  there  is  a  fifty-fifty  chance  tha 
they  will  end  up  in  the  same  house

be  a  pleasant  memory,  and  might- 
forgive  the  sentimentality— go  far  to 
wreck  a  very  happy  group  of  budding 
friendships.  I  will  not  deny,  of  course, 
that  these  girls  might  find  just  as  close

One  of  the  things  about  any  agita-

planatory  talk  by  Margaret  Notinan, 
Head  of  Work.  By  far  the  most  effec 
tive  of  the  presentations  was  the  por- 
trait of  Cardinal  Richelieu  by  Cham 
paigne.   The  infinite  hauteur  of  the  sub 


i  the  i 


The  symphonic  poem,  Desoriente. 
suggested  by  Matthew  Arnold's  Stanzas 
from  the  Grande  Chartreuse,  overcame 
the  disheartening  effect  of  a  feeble  be- 
ginning by  a  brilliant  second  move- 
ment, and  adequate  third,  and  an 
appropriate  and  effective  ending. 
Avowedly,  Desoriente  was  worked  out 
according  to  symphonic  convention, 
but  in  terms  of  motion,  unhampered 
by  musical  composition,  assisted  only 
by  a  simple  percussion  pattern.  The 
first  movement,  largo  religioso,  was  too 
long.  Technically  it  balanced  the  rest 
of  the  symphony;  artistically  its  length 
was  unjustified — the  material  was  too 
slight. 

The  adagio  tranquillo  and  allegro 
con  brio  of  the  second,  movement  pro- 
vided the  aesthetic  thrill  of  the  eve- 
ning, in  beautifully  balanced  movement 

tag,  both  in  design  and  color,  was 
handled  with  acute  sensitivity  to  group 
value.  The  Machine  Age  of  the  third 
movement,  in  conventionally  grotesque 
costume,  was  redeemed  by  refreshing 
and  effective  simplicity  of  motion.  As 
Youth's  Theme,  Pauline  Westcott,  who 
overstrained  the  exuberant  spirit  of 
youth  by  bouncing  too  much  in  the 
first  movement,  distinguished  herself 
by    the    sympathetic    restraint    of    the 

The  bagatelles  and  interpretations 
winch  succeeded  the  symphonic  poem 
pleased  by  their  spontaneity,  so  mark- 
edly in  contrast  to  the  studied  beauty 
of  Desoriente.  The  Little  White 
Donkey  amused  the  audience  tremen- 
dously; Norwegian  Peasaiit  Dance,  with 
the  combination  of  Grieg's  music  and 
the  performers'  joie  de  vivre,  brought 
down  the  house;  after  Tweedledum 
and  Tweedledee  the  audience  just  sat 
and  laughed  wholeheartedly.  The 
Giddy  Girl  was  obscured  by  a  puzzling 
complexity  of  interpretation,  but  Co- 
quette, offered  by  the  same  dancer, 
Dorothy  Wood,  was  handled  with  a 
linesse    reminiscent   of   Angna    Enters. 

Ase's  Death  gave  the  same  distin- 
guished combination  of  color  and  mo- 
tion which  marked  the  second  move- 
ment of  the  symphony.  Fog  and  Valse, 
through  trite  in  theme,  were  adequate- 
ly presented. 

The  River's  Song  was  startling.  It 
turned  out  to  be  a  choral  chant  ac- 
i  dance  rather  than  an 


sistance.    Interesting  as  an  experiment 
nevertheless. 

The  Fruehlingsstimme  was  much 
more  charming  and  delightful  than  the 
name  would  indicate.  The  dancers 
were  not  self-conscious  or  engrossed  in 
the  technicalities  of  the  work.  They 
sent  us  all  away  in  a  good  humor, 
pleased  with  ourselves  and  them  and 
the  whole  Dance  Drama. 


T.  Z.  E.   STUDIO    RECEPTION 

On  Saturday  evening,  March  19,  at 
Alumnae  Hall,  Tau  Zeta  Epsilon  pre- 
sented a  Studio  Reception,  this  year 
for  the  benefit  of  the  Unemployed  Re- 
lief Fund.  As  is  the  custom  at  the 
Studio  Receptions,  the  society  present- 
ed a  series  of  pictures  with  living 
models,  illustrating  their  work  for  the 
year.  This  year  the  series  showed  the 
development  of  French  painting  since 
the  15th  century.  All  the  pictures  were 
done  with  a  careful 


tume  made  it  seem  as  if  it  were  the 
original.  Each  fold  in  the  gorgeous  car- 
dinal's robe  must  have  been  carefully 
studied.  The  Watteau  Lecon  de  Musi- 
que,  the  Pragonard  Inspiration,  and  the 
portrait  of  the  Comte  d'Espagnac  by 
Vigee  le  Brun  all  showed  great  atten- 
:h  made  them 
especially    charming.      The    two    15th 

et  St.  Stephan  after  Fouquet  and  La 
Vierge  qui  adore  V Enfant  after  the 
Maitre  de  Moulins  were  most  delicately 
attempted.  The  detail  from  the  Ber- 
gers  Arcadie  by  Poussin  captured  that 
artist's  background  treatment  and  the 
classical  simplicity  of  his  figures.  The 
Cruche  Cassee  after  Greuze  was  a 
charming  picture,  though  not  entirely 
fulfilling  the  spirit  of  the  original.  One 
of  the  most  interesting  attempts  was 
the  copy  of  La  Loge  by  Renoir.  It  is, 
of  course,  practically  impossible  to  copy 
the  shimmering  pinks  and  grays  of  the 
original  and  to  achieve  the  vagueness 
of  outline  with  actual  human  figures. 
Considering  this,  the  resemblance  to 
the  charm  of  the  original  was  remark- 
able. 

On  the  whole  the  presentation  was 
splendid  in  the  way  in  which  it  showed 
careful  work  and  really  loving  study. 
After  viewing  the  exhibition  we  can 
safely  say  that  the  society  obviously 
achieved  a  great  understanding  of 
French  art  in  their  work  this  year. 


PLAY    PRODUCTION 

The  small  but  receptive  audience 
fortunate  enough  or  perhaps  wise 
enough  to  attend  the  three  one-act 
plays  presented  by  the  Play  Produc- 
tion Class  on  the  evening  of  March  15 
was  well  rewarded  for  its  interest. 
Miss  Smaill's  apologies  for  the  natural 
crudities  of  the  work  of  the  class  were 
scarcely  needed  since  the  exceptional 
sets  and  delicate  understanding  of  the 
actresses  certainly  obscured  any  slight 
lack  of  smoothness  or  finish  resulting 
from  limitations  of  time  and  materials. 
Also  to  its  credit  is  the  experimenting 
spirit  of  the  class  in  bringing  to  their 
fche  Harvard  Dramatic  Asso- 
Shaw's  Man  of  Destiny,  an 


by  the  college. 

Although  the  sight  of  a  masculine 
figure  in  the  uniform  and  the  sound  of 
a  really  gruff  voice  were  treats  to  the 
Wellesley  audience,  not  all  the  success 
of  the  plays  goes  to  Harvard.  The 
first  two  plays,  by  F.  Sladen  Smith, 
The  Crown  of  Saint  Felice  and  The 
Sacred  Cat,  with  light  debunking  irony 
combined  with  fantastic  sets  and 
charming  costumes  of  vague  date  and 
period,  were  well  chosen  for  the  dra- 
matic capacity  of  a  group  of  girls  where 
deft  interpretation  rather  than  inten- 


WELLESLE  Y      COLL 


sity  of  emotion  was  required.  Particu- 
larly pleasing  was  the  lone  palm  tree 
in  The  Sacred  Cart  that  bent  over  the 
benches  in  an  angle  ancient  and  mod- 
ernistic. Martha  Young  as  St.  Felice, 
whose  greatest  joy  in  heaven  was  the 
memory  of  her  good  temper  on  earth,  i 
played  her  part  with  nice  shadings! 
breaking  though  her  dreamy  lethargy  j 
in  an  heroic  loss  of  temper  at  the  im-  ! 
pudent  mortals  who  insult  her  memory 
by  forgetfulness.  The  cast  of  The  Sa- 
cred Cat  was  small,  each  member  con- 
tributing equally  to  its  effect— Janet 
Hill  as  the  clumsy  boy  emulating  the 
"man  about  Thebes,"  Virginia  Street 
as  the  coquettish  girl  playing  inno- 
cent, and  Mary  Thyne  as  the  pom- 
due  laurels  go  to  the  unknown  actress 
who  meowed  so  enthusiastically  in 
truly  cattish  tones  whenever  a  lie  was 
told. 

With  its  satire  on  England  and  col- 
onization, its  salient  lines  on  existing 
social  evils,  The  Man  of  Destiny  as  a 
play  was  typically  Shavian.  Bernard 
Meyer  was  excellent  as  Napoleon,  ruth- 
lessly ambitious  yet  keenly  aware  of 
and  appreciative  of  courage  in  others. 
The  part  of  Giuseppi,  the  garrulous, 
fawning  innkeeper,  was  well  handled 
by  Charles  Sedgwick. 

As  a  whole  the  class  gave  a  perform- 
ance that  was  diverting  and  marked 
by  good  acting  and  original  production. 
Barn  had  best  looked  to  her  laurels 
with  such  talent  loose  in  Wellesley's 
rhf'ati  icul    world.

day, it  remains  a  question,  as  we  go  to  ! 
press,  whether  the  miners  will  remain  I 
loyal  to  their  organization. 

On  March  X4th,  George  Eastman, 
founder  of  the  Eastman  Kodak  Co.,' 
committed  suicide  at  the  age  of  sev-  | 
enty-eight.  On  the  following  Friday  I 
occurred     the     death      of      Chauncey  i 


Perhaps  to  disprove  the  old  adage 
about  roses  smelling  sweetly  under  an 
alias,  perhaps  to  demonstrate  that  a 
name  is  an  outward  sign  of  an  inward 
grace,  and  possibly  to  be  conspicuous, 
James  Branch  Cabell  has  truncated  his 
first  name  in  his  new  volume.  These 
Restless  Heads.  And,  for  those  of  his 
readers  for  whom  Jurgen  was  a  demi- 
god and  the  biography  of  Manuel  a 
fascinating  series  of  adventures,  this 
book  will  seem  nearly  as  remote  from  | 
his  other  works  as  if  it  were  indeed 
written  by  another  author. 

Only  in  the  first  and  last  parts  of  j 
the  trilogy  is  Cabell  fanciful  in  the 
style  which  we,  alas,  have  come  to 
classify  as  the  identifying  Cabell  char-  I 
acteristic;  the  major,  middle  section  is  I 
osaic  in  its  subject  matter  and| 
treatment  as  the  postman  upon  whom 
the  author  lavishes  his  attention. 
Duke  Prospero,  or  so  the  tale  runs  in 
the  first  part,  was  exiled  to  an  island 
after  wasting  his  substance  as  Duke  of 
MHlan,  but,  eventually,  he  was  returned 
to  his  ancestral  fief.  Ariel  had  touched 
him  with  all  understanding,  so  that  he 
became  revered  and,  more  important 
in  his  estimation,  he  became  wealthy. 
One  day  he  speaks  to  himself,  "In  my 
Island  many  unborn  dreams  await  to 
be  delivered  into  form  and  color,  but 
here  the  doings  of  the  applauded 
perish.  They  that  prosper  in  my  Milan 
have  not  any  dreams:  they  sleep  In 
contentment   far  too  soundly   for   any 

clouded  heart  is  to  follow  after  un- 
born dreams  hopelessly.  Come  away, 
Duke  Prospero,  oh,  come  away;  put 
aside  the  vain  glories  of  common 
sense  for  my  harsh,  liveries;  an( 
us    hunt    again    after    that    whici

He  speaks  of  Asred,  by  whose  side 
all  the  wise  march,  crying,  "Conform," 
and  who  "dictated  to  Shakespeare  all 
his  more  popular  quotations":  he  dis- 

that  a  youth  writes  a  better  novel  than 
a  sage,  because  the  sage  realizes  the 
futility  ol  their  creation.  All  this  is 
done  deftly,  amusingly,  leaving  one 
marveling  at  how  well  things  have  been 
said  and  half-wondering  if  Mr.  Cabell 
Is  right  in  believing  there  is  nothing 
important  to  say  or  whether  this  book 
might  not  have  been  immeasurably 
Improved  if  it  had  said  slightly  less 
trivial  things  equally  well.
